    May 17 2026
    The galaxy's most wanted are heading to the big screen, and before The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters, Jay and Caleb are settling the score that matters most: who are the five greatest characters from The Mandalorian TV series? Bounty hunters, droids, Jedi, Mandalorians, and a few villains who almost made the cut. From the underworld of Nevarro to the dunes of Tatooine to the reclamation of Mandalore itself, the guys count down their personal favorites, riff on the moments that made them, and break down where each character stands heading into the movie. Plus: listener picks, hot takes, and one ranking that's a little more personal than the rest. This is the Way.

    66: Travel Destinations (w/ Sarah)
    May 2 2026

    This week on The Hi-Five Podcast, we’re talking all about our favorite travel destinations with special guest co-host Sarah.

    After being one of our most loyal listeners and regular submitters, Sarah joins us to help revisit a topic we originally covered way back in episode 10. From iconic cities to unforgettable scenery to places that keep calling us back, we each share the kinds of destinations that stick with you long after the trip is over.

    We also read through a bunch of great submissions from friends and family, which made this episode even more fun.

    Whether you’re a planner, a wanderer, a foodie, a relaxer, or a full-blown chaos agent, this one’s for you.

    65: Movie Sequels
    Mar 15 2026

    Ep 65: Movie Sequels — Caleb and Jay dive into the weird magic of sequels: when they level up the original, when they crash and burn, and when they somehow become the definitive version of a story. We break down what makes a follow-up actually work (bigger world? deeper theme? pure vibes?) and rank our favorites, including Blade Runner 2049, The Last Jedi, Back to the Future Part II, Mary Poppins Returns, and Inside Out 2. Expect hot takes, nostalgia, and at least one moment where we realize our childhood opinions are… suspicious.

    Parenting doesn’t come with a manual… but it definitely comes with a lot of trial and error. In this episode, Jay and Caleb share some of their favorite parenting hacks, techniques, and small strategies that make life with kids just a little easier. From communication tricks to everyday systems that keep chaos under control, the guys break down practical ideas that actually work (and a few that definitely don’t). Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, there might be a trick or two here worth stealing.

    63: Villains
    Feb 18 2026

    Not just bad guys. Not just evil masterminds. We’re talking about the characters (and maybe real-life figures) who define conflict, chaos, and cultural impact. The ones you love to hate. The ones who steal the show. Did we miss someone obvious? Are we completely wrong?
